Tourism
from European countries was also hit with visitors from Italy and
Russia declining by around a quarter despite the city hosting several
matches of the Euro 2016 football championships, including the final.

The
body's president Frederic Valletoux said however that an uplift in
bookings in November and December "makes us think that things could
improve in 2017, even if they are rather weak signs at the moment".

Officials said the attacks had not been the only factor in discouraging visitors to Paris.

Valletoux
said aside from the "exceptional security context", tourists were also
put off by a wave of strikes and protests against the Socialist
government's labour market reforms and heavy flooding that hit Paris and
surrounding areas in May and June.

Valletoux
said despite the global growth of room-sharing services such as Airbnb,
their effect on hotel stays had been "marginal".

Figures
revealed this month showed that despite fears linked to attacks, the
nation as a whole retained its position as the world's number one
tourist destination last year with between 82.5 million and 83 million
foreign visitors."

Added: Also in France in 2016, Islamic mass murder on the Riviera:terror truck
on French Riviera had bulletproof glass. French terror 'alert' consisted of police having hand guns:

From the initial investigation of attack in the French resort city of
Nice, it is clear that the large truck used to run down dozens of people
on the promenade was carefully prepared for the attack, debkafile's counterterrorism sources report.

At least 84 people were killed when a huge truck drove into crowds
celebrating Bastille Day in the French Riviera town of Nice on the
famous Promenade des Anglais seafront Thursday night in a
horrific Islamist terror attack. Hundreds more were injured. Before he
was shot dead by police, the driver opened fire on the throng.

People
were advised to stay home and keep their cars off the roads in case of
armed men out on the town. Police gunfire was an attempt to stop the
huge truck, which continued to plough at a speed of 70kph into the
crowds of families and tourists watching a fireworks display. Guns and
hand grenades were later found stowed in the truck. Police say the
driver was 31 and of Tunisian origin.
This appears to be the deadliest terrorist attack in France since the
Paris outrage last year. President Francois Hollande extended the
national state of emergency that was due to expire next week by another
three months and recalled police reservists to duty across France." image from Debka File
